AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional delivery systems struggle to effectively mitigate delivery delays caused by unforeseen factors such as traffic congestion.
Method used
An information processing device that communicates with various alternative delivery means, calculates the remaining distance and predicted arrival time, and switches to an alternative delivery method when delays are imminent, using a control unit to request another delivery means to take over the delivery.
Benefits of technology
This approach efficiently minimizes delivery delays by seamlessly transitioning to alternative delivery methods like bicycles or drones, enhancing delivery efficiency.

Abstract
To facilitate resolving delivery delays.SOLUTION: An information processor 20 includes: communication means 23 for communicating with terminal devices 40 respectively corresponding to alternative delivery means 13 included in a plurality of alternative delivery means 13; control means 21 including: position-acquisition means for acquiring position data indicating the location of delivery vehicle 12; calculation means for calculating, on the basis of the acquired position data, the remaining distance from the location of delivery vehicle 12 to the delivery destination and the predicted arrival time of delivery vehicle 12 at the delivery destination; selection means for selecting one alternative delivery means 13 from among the plurality of alternative delivery means 13 when the remaining distance calculated by calculation means is less than the predetermined distance and the predicted arrival time calculated by calculation means is later than a designated delivery time by at least a predetermined amount of time; and transmission means for transmitting, via communication means 23, request data for requesting the selected alternative delivery means 13 to perform delivery in place of delivery vehicle 12 for at least a part of the remaining distance to terminal device 40 corresponding to the selected alternative delivery means 13.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
